I keep forgetting that not everybody gets paid weekly. For a moment I wondered what the hell you consider a "good" raise.

Even if I was paid weekly, in a town where a gallon of milk costs $6-$7, that's not what you might call a sum likely to make a material difference in our circumstances.

Why, do you drink more than two and a half gallons of milk per paycheque?

Oh hush, you. GameStop gave nickel raises. If you were doing well.

In other news, my coworker inexplicably turned down the bitch dial. Not complaining, just not getting used to it yet.

One of my coworkers who used to be on my team just found out she's having a boy, so she immediately decided to name him "Westley". She swears me telling her that that's would I would name a boy has nothing to do with it.

So anyway, that's something.

Pfff, nobody would be afraid of the "Dread Pirate Westley".

Reminder: My family name is Roberts. I had to bite my lip not to tell the lady "IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY FOR YOU."

It's like that time Brad named his cat "Stains".

IT DOESN'T WORK WITH AN ANIMAL THAT WON'T COME WHEN IT'S CALLED.

TA · « **Reply #2027 on:** March 08, 2012, 03:23:32 PM »

Is she specifically spelling it "Westley", as opposed to the actual common name of Wesley?

Set fire to her car.

Or, you know, you could just congratulate her and be nice.

It's not like she put a trademark on it. I just think it's amusing.

I basically cursed a kid other than my own to have a slightly un-masculine name and a tendency to be told to shut up.

R^2 · « **Reply #2033 on:** March 08, 2012, 05:14:51 PM »

Westley? Crush her.

Beat Bandit · « **Reply #2034 on:** March 08, 2012, 05:35:49 PM »

Okay that's it.

I don't get it.

Today I discoverd that I work at a place where you open a ticket to have the office fridge cleaned.

I brought my ergo keyboard into work (as I am wont to do) but these moments appeared to affect it particularly badly for some reason; it wouldn't just go dead for a few seconds a few times a week, it would go dead for a measurable period of time several times a day. So I took it home and switched back to a cheapy comes-with-a-new-computer one.

Still happening even on the wooden desk -- no shocks, but the keyboard still periodically drops and only picks back up if I hit the KVM switch a few times. I suspect it's a problem with the switch.

Maybe it's a problem... WITH YOU!

Had to deliver to the mental health care place downtown today. 3 big party platters and 2 sacked lunches and two drinks in an incredibly difficult to balance tower. Our store is currently surrounded by constructions to I had to make my way through the construction and across two streets trying to control the wobbling food. I get to the place and waited for the elevator. And waited. Turns out someone broke it so I had to climb six flights of stairs only to get to the top and have a man tell me I was on the wrong floor. I go down to floor three when a lady behind the counter there told me the man who told me I was on the wrong floor was a patient. So back up to six I go.
I finally get to the right door and am now struggling to stand when the guy I'm supposed to deliver to tells me to wait in the hallway while he finishes his call to his mother. While waiting the five minutes for him to end his phone call, the man who told me I was on the wrong floor comes by and tries to take some food. A nurse rushes up and yells at the man and then me for encouraging him.

I'm not too incredibly fond of my job.

I don't think I've been in an office before that I would seriously recommend be shut down for a couple days to prevent the entire staff from getting sick. Seriously, it's like a plague hospital in here. The only reason I haven't walked out is that I'm just coming OFF of a major flu, so hopefully my status as a breathing inoculation will cancel some of it out.
